YoungWillz 21,046 Posted March 16 I wonder. Here is an entry in the Gazette for the death of Angela Kaye, retired actress, who died on 20 May 2023. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4569224 I wonder if this is in fact British actress Angela Bracewell, who married Stubby Kaye, the well known US character actor. IMDB states that Angela Bracewell was born in Southport and the Gazette entry states the last address for her as Formby, Liverpool. Too much of a coincidence for it not to be her? Returned to the general area of her birth after Kaye's death in 1997? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,620 Posted March 16 For starters, IMDb has her birth year out by one. Her birth was registered in the last quarter of 1936. Despite marrying an American, they wed in Marylebone in 1967 so it doesn't look like she took off and lived in the States as is normally the case with British actresses. @Master Obit might be the one to ask for this. He could check if the birth year listed in the death record is indeed 1936 (the death is too recent for me to check on Ancestry). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,620 Posted March 16 Going to use this again to groan about the Winter edition of Equity magazine, which has been out since December but has still not been uploaded online (grrr). I bet you she's listed in that! Once again... if anyone has a copy or know anyone in the UK entertainment industry (they would have been sent one) then please ping me with a photo of the In Memoriam spread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted March 18 Jeremiah Farrell died on July 4, 2022.

Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted March 21 I'm pretty sure (location, date and an old Facebook profile all seem to align here) that this Chastity Frye who died aged 41 in 2017 is the same Chastity Frye who, while working as an escort, turned down sex with Seung-Hui Cho and apparently inspired him to commit the Virginia Tech massacre a month later. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,738 Posted March 25 On 26/02/2023 at 14:37, arghton said: Can't find if Finnish director/writer/editor Harry Lewing is still alive, was watching a documentary on Operation Stella Polaris on the television a while ago and there was an interview of him filmed twenty years ago. 100 this year if still alive. He was alive! Harry Lewing (imdb) apparently died without much fanfare in December, two days before his 100th birthday. Very unfortunate he did not receive any media attention considering he won a Jussi Award in 1953, but he was quite a "forgotten relic". As far as I know there are no centenarian Finns with imdb pages at the moment, oldest I'm aware of is Hilkka Kinnunen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gisooo 3,344 Posted March 25 British actress Ruth Goring (IMDb) died last year at the age of 95-96 Thanks to @Master Obit who told me that in GRO record was a Ruth Montague born 1927 who died on May 13, 2023 in Camden. I really think it's her! Meanwhile her husband actor Lee Montague, same age as her is still alive.
